I once knew that everything around me leapt for youAnd I spoke with fiery tongue of heavens fall and of your kingdom comeThe words I was saying were leaving with ease but countered the actions that follow my feetOh the seduction of meaningless things

I've been eating from gravesidesSwearing oaths to the fairest of moonsTrading masters by firelightAnd sleeping in their tombs

All creation waits - Aching for the day(Earth, the sky, and savage tide will vanish under heavens rise - falling, fading)There is no escape - From what the author fates(Greater souls than we conceive - Concern themselves with our retreat)

I've been drifting in my wordsI've been shifting my affection to whatever love may call my nameBabel were your men so dimTo build their gods and worship themErect escape in incrementsAnd place their faith in intellect

Now we've been weeping at gravesidesSwearing hope is an island awayJust a spark for the firelightTo keep despair at bay

My brothers, we are foolishIf this is how we think we can exist, there is no hopeWe are all hopeless, we are brokenNo tower built could ever save our soulsThere is no hope, there is no

All creation waitsAching for the day(Falling, fading)There is no escapeFrom what the author fates(Falling, fading)

We've been living in shadowsSoon exposed to the lightOur existence will ruptureWhen the maker arrivesEvery vanity shatteredEvery galaxy frayedWe will suffer no longerIn these delicate frames

But no man knows the season or the timeAnd fault will find us all in guilty livesAnd only mercy can a hope provideReturn, Repent,Before deep heaven falls upon our heads.
